"Nationally, the issue is preservation of the battlefield," Campi said. "Locally, the issue is quality of life. We just don't have the water capacity, we don't have the road capacity to support this development."

The 1863 Battle of Chancellorsville is a textbook example of military ingenuity -- Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf cited the battle as inspiration for his plans during the Gulf War. Lee's outnumbered troops whipped Union forces in a three-day battle that resulted in 30,000 casualties on both sides. Among them was Confederate Gen. Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson, who died after his own troops accidentally shot him.

I would imagine the site has provided a much needed 'green belt' this many years and will continue to do the same in the future...That anyone would propose to build on the site of Stonewall Jackson's victory is an insult!
